Applications

Changes in brain function may be produced by metabolic disease, neural injury, epigenetic causes, antibiotic history or exposure to toxins or treatments. Persistence and scientific rigor are a pre-requisite in this field where relevant patterns must be discerned from small signals. Metabolic assays such as respirometry and ethographic profiling of behavior are key methods when a high-definition, in-vivo record is required to evaluate efficacy in pharmaceutical safety, neurological or physiological investigations.

UPCOMING COURSES

This respirometry course – held in Las Vegas, NV – teaches participants how to measure metabolic rates using indirect calorimetry. We will apply techniques for measuring real-time O2 consumption, CO2 production and water vapor loss for subjects ranging from small invertebrates to large mammals. Participants can work with single animal and high through-put systems in both open-flow[...]

This respirometry course – held in Las Vegas, NV – teaches participants how to use indirect calorimetry in metabolic screening. We will apply techniques for measuring real-time O2 consumption, CO2 production and water vapor loss for laboratory rodents. Measurement systems also include food & water intake, body mass monitoring, wheel running and voluntary activity. Data[...]
